SENTENCED TO DEATH.
A Court Martial Goes the Limit on
a Man Found Sleeping at His
Post

A Court Martial Goes the Limit on
Man Found Sleeping at His
Post.
A general court martial, in session at
Fort Reno, has just sentenced Private
Edward Daring, Troop G, Fifth cavalry,
to death for sleeping on post in times
of peace. The evidence introduced on
the trial proved the soldier to have been
sick when placed on guard. Gen. Mer-
rift. in reviewing the proceedings, says:
when sick it is the duty of the soldier
to ask for medical treatment. He has
no right of his own vOlition to attempt
to perform duty, and least of all as
sentinel, when his sickness may involve
great risks to the govern ment. The
sentence is severe beyond al precedent
known to these headquarters. 1t is not
perhaps unnatural, then, that the court
awarded the above sentence, coupled with
Recommendation to mercy, signed by all
the members of the court. But custom
in this department makes the sentence
unmerciful. 1t is, therefore, mitigated
to forfeiture of $40 per month for six
months and confinement under charge
of the guard at the station of his troop
for the same PERIOD
NOTES.

Fort Totten, Oak, Thursday next the 24th
instant, comprised of Capt. Augustus A. De

JUMPS ON THE COMPANY.
A Second Report by the Commit

Depot.

A Second Report by the Commit
tee on the Sheds at the Union
Depot.
AT the meeting of the chamber of COM
merce yesterday morning letter was
read from the board of trade of New
Ulm in regard to increased facilities for
getting from New Ulm to st. Paul and
Minneapolis and back with less delay
than they now suffer from. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee ON tranSporta-
ton. The following report from the
committee on union depot sheds wa
read and adopted:
Since our last report was presented we
have been furnished with further informa-
ton, and find and report that on the I'd day
of December, 1879, in response to a petition
of the Union Depot company asking for the
vacation of parts of Wacouta and other
streets and the public levee to enable said
company ''to build Union depot the com
mon council of the city adopted a resolution
calling upon the company to furnish specific
information as to its plans. In answer to
this resolution Secretary Estabrook, of that
company, submitted tracing of the ground
plan of the proposed depot as follows:
Enclosed is a tracing of the ground plan
of the Union depot that has met with gen.
eral approval, except desire to increase
size, if space can be obtained. The main
building containing waiting rooms, ETC.,
fronts towards Sibley street $50 feet, and ex,
tends east in depth 10 feet The walls of
the front for ITO feet and on the north side
so feet have an awning roof, projecting be-
yond the building 10 to 80 feet, SO that the
space under The roof is 160 by 155
feet In the rear and extending nearly
to Broadway is the train house $50
by $50 feet. The cost of the build
ng above is 100000 and total improve
ments 100000. Upon the receipt of this
statement the council proceeded to vacate
the streets named. 1t is notorious that the
Union Depot company has persistently ne
elected to keep this implied agreement with
the city. Whatever reason has heretofore ex-
listed has been removed. Every day of this
continued neglect is adding TO injury already
done and without excuse.
Your committee recommend that the com
pany be requested. not later than Dec. l, to
furnish the chamber with plans for the prom
lsed improvement,and statement of whether
or not it will let a contract not later than May
]. 1888, for their execution, and that, in case
of failure of said company to act favorably
i'll the matter. a conference with proper
committee of the common council be had,
and every step which the law and an out
ragged public sentiment can furnish, be taken
to accomplish the desired result. All of which
is respectfully submitted. Edmund Rice,

Looking After the Crows.

Word was received at army head
quarters in this city yesterday that Gen.
Ruger and Lieut.. Bates had arrived at
Fort Custer yesterday afternoon en-
route to the scenes of the Indian
troubles at the Grow agency. Inquiry
at department headquarters fails to CON
firm the somewhat sensational tele-
ment of troops within this department.

commander, and as the general was en-
route to Fort Custer at the time, it doe S
not appear that the three companies
cited in the telegram could have left
Fort Keogh. If Gen. Ruger should see
fit to direct any movements of troops in
connection with matters at the Crow
Indian agency department headquar-
tiers would be informed of it,

NO REDUCTION MADE.
Railroad Commissioners Make
Answer to a Complaint of Rail-
nHaioIc

Railroad Commissioners Make
Answer to Complaint of Rail-
way Officials.
A committee, representing employees
of the Milwaukee, Northern Pacific,
Minneapolis & st. Louis and several
other railroads had hearing before the
railroad commissioners yesterday. Pc
titions were presented stating that they
understood that the commissioners had
already made reduction of 25 per
cent. in rates on all the roads in the
state and were contemplating a further
reduction of from Is to 80 per cent
This reduction they claimed was
causing the railroads to reduce their
force of employees enough to make up
for the decreased receipts.
cit is certain said Gen. Becker,
s'that there has been general reduction
in freight rates this year, owing to the
competition of the roads themselves,
produced by the interstate and state
railroad laws making reduced rates to
interior towns. But this has not been
done by order of the railroad commits
sioners. The only reductions we have
ordered were in the switching charges
at Minneapolis, the milk rates from
Pennington, Mortified and Owatonna
and the new schedule on the Iowa q
Minnesota division of the Milwaukee.
and so far the railroads are not regard
ing their ORDERS"
The committee was made up of E. S..
Boyd, of Minneapolis; A. T. Taylor, of
st. Paul; l.. G. Body, of Minneapolis,
and L. E. Coolidge, of Minneapolis,

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 24.-W. H.
Bailey, one of the members of the gen.
eral executive board, Knights of Labor,
about whom there was such conten-
ton at Minneapolis. arrived in the city
to-day Ell route to Philadelphia. This
morning Mr.. Bailey, when questioned
in regard to the proceedings of the re-
cent general assembly, said:
I am not satisfied with the result of the
convention but have no grievances and no
complaints to make. The vote to reduce the
executive board was in my favor While l
am not satisfied, / accept the inevitable, and
will do my best for the good of the entire

Georgia Prohibition.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-An Atlanta, Ga,
special says that Gov. Gordon, in an in
terview, said that prohibition had been
tried through local option in 100 out of
the 1877 counties of the state, and not
one county has gone back on its action.
He did not hesitate to pronounce the re-
aged. All fears of trade being diverted
had proven groundless. The change
had nOticeably benefited the freedmen.

MIR. Sutphin. so it has been given out
by citizens of Duluth, has been pre-
vailed upon to accept. the smayoralty of

This was done at the instance of prom
inent real estate men, who do not like
the interruption to business incident to
an election for mayor, and because it
was recognized fact that no one can
successfully run for that office while
the present incumbent wants it. The
committee wanted to make the term
forty years, but his honor refused, as he
said he knew when he had enough. Mr..

The Evidence insufficient.

County Attorney Egan states that the
case against Charles Packer, the Front
street baker who was charged with
attempting to rape the six-year-old
daughter of George Elm, of Virginia
avenue, will not be further prosecuted,
on the ground that there is not sufficient
evidence. When Packer was arraigned

other four years of age, holding that the

1ect from among their number one who

Conversation with the different bosses

most people imagine. The greater part
